Most high-achieving women were raised on stories of sacrifice. We watched our mothers, aunts, grandmothers and female mentors work multiple jobs, exchange time for money, and wear exhaustion like a badge of honor. For many of us, this wasn’t just survival; it was the only blueprint we had for success. You didn’t have the option to stop hustling and claim your ease.
However, we don’t live in the same world as our ancestors and now is the opportunity for you to learn how to stop hustling and claim your ease. Because there’s no badge for burnout, nor is there an award for overworking. What if this game wasn’t built for us? What if we have a new option?
Spoiler alert: It wasn’t and we do. Today’s podcast episode is your invitation to stop hustling and claim your ease. Let’s get into it.

Why Struggle Became the Standard
From the Industrial Revolution to hustle culture influencers, we’ve been taught that effort equals value. Struggle is seen as a prerequisite, not a red flag. Even when new opportunities for ease and abundance present themselves, we’re often too conditioned to believe they’re real. Many of us want overflow and ease, but this option doesn’t feel safe when you’re conditioned to panic work until 9pm and peace feels suspicious.
The Cost of Struggle
When Burnout Becomes a Badge
Bri Seeley shares her personal story of chasing validation through overwork—a journey many of us know all too well. The constant grind isn’t just unsustainable; it actively diminishes our ability to live the lives we claim to want.
The Law of Diminishing Returns
More effort doesn’t always equal more success. In fact, it often leads to burnout, resentment, and misaligned priorities. As Bri puts it, “I am so over sacrificing myself for success.”
The Law of Diminishing Returns states:
Doing more doesn’t always equal getting more.
At some point, doing more actually starts to produce less.
But what if overworking is actually the thing keeping you stuck? What if your next level isn’t about doing more… but becoming more?
What It Means to Claim Your Ease Era
Redefining Value
What if your value isn’t tied to how much you do, but rather the energy you bring? Quantum physics supports this: everything is energy. Tapping into that abundant, unlimited source is not only possible—it’s powerful.
Real-Life Shifts
Bri shares the story of her clients who transitioned from hustle to ease:
- Shanta craved a soft and slow life, but didn’t believe it was possible. After working together, she stopped overworking and started trusting ease. And the overflow followed.
- Becky wanted to believe her vision wasn’t crazy. Now? She’s running a business that supports her and her family. She’s spending more time with her family instead of working — and she’s so incredibly proud of the woman she’s become.
- Jenn found herself defaulting back to old habits of poverty, fear, hustling and grinding until she stopped chasing her thriving life and rooted into the truth that ease was not only possible for her – it’s who she fucking is.
Steps to Stop Hustling and Claim Your Ease
1. Rewire Your Subconscious
Ease starts internally. Transforming the narratives you’ve inherited about work, success, and worthiness is the first step.
2. Let Go of What No Longer Serves
This might be a job, business model, or even an identity. As Bri says, “If you are walking a pathway of struggle, ease cannot be the destination.”
3. Build New Structures for Support
Create business models and life systems that allow for overflow: passive income, scalable offers, and energy-led decision making.
4. Join a Community of Women Doing the Same
Ease doesn’t have to be lonely. Programs like Bri’s six-week “Claim Your Ease Era” experience are designed to provide support, strategy, and sisterhood.
Your Invitation to Choose Ease
Ease isn’t about doing nothing. It’s about doing what matters—with alignment, spaciousness, and joy.
If you’ve been craving a new way to live, lead, and succeed, this is your sign. You don’t have to prove your worth through struggle anymore.
